New Canadian Content Providers

With more than 31 million citizens and a GDP of more than a trillion dollars, Canada is recognized as one of the world's leading economies and for many professionals, monitoring the news and developments in Canada is paramount to their success. The number of respected Canadian news sources available to users of Dialog NewsRoom (newsroom.dialog.com) has lately grown significantly due to recent agreements with new Canadian information providers.

Among the key sources available:

• The Canadian Press (CP) is the source that Canada's newsrooms turn to for unbiased breaking news from Canada and around the world. The CP's original reporting by more than 300 journalists is augmented through the resources of a news-sharing co-operative of more than 600 newsrooms and news agencies worldwide and is updated daily, Monday through Sunday. The Canadian Press is also available in French as La Presse Canadienne.
  
  
• Broadcast News (BN) is the award-winning national broadcast service division of the Canadian Press. BN is a respected, trusted news source providing Canadian and world news from its own reporters and relationships with The Associated Press, ABC Radio, the CP and others. Nouvelles Tèlè-Radio, a French-language version of BN, is also available. BN updates daily, Monday through Sunday.
  
  
• The Toronto Star Metroland community papers comprise over 30 newspapers that cover local and regional events and issues in and around Toronto, Canada. Papers such as The Liberal, the York Business News, and the Durham Business News cover specific regions in Ontario while the North York Mirror and the York Guardian focus on York, one of the communities amalgamated recently to make up the City of Toronto.
